Xinhua Commentary: Innovation continues! China's AI moves towards the "deep sea"

Xinhua News Agency published a commentary pointing out that on the 26th, several research institutions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly launched the "RockScience Foundation Big Model" based on open ecology. The release of this large-scale scientific foundation model signifies that the development of artificial intelligence in China is solidly advancing towards empowering human exploration of knowledge in new fields. From the laboratory to the vast ocean of stars, artificial intelligence is reshaping the methodology of science. The breakthrough of "Rock" lies in its surpassing the primitive imagination of AI assistants in daily repetitive work, reaching the core of scientific research paradigm. It liberates scientists, allowing them to focus their energy on proposing more creative hypotheses and discovering patterns. The establishment of the "Science Foundation Big Model Ecology Alliance" by multiple research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in collaboration with dozens of domestic institutions highlights the catalytic significance of open ecology for scientific research innovation. The road of technological innovation is not without challenges. The persistence of "Loongson," the exploration of "Six Small Dragons," the breakthrough of DeepSeek, are all the fruits of hard work by Chinese researchers. Behind every technological breakthrough, there is not only the accumulation of countless wisdom and efforts, but also a profound truth reflected like a clear mirror: the height of technology depends on the depth of humanities. It is only by advancing along the path of openness, inclusiveness, and innovation, and moving forward on the track of technology for good, that artificial intelligence can truly become a partner in expanding the cognitive boundaries of mankind. The mysteries of artificial intelligence are endless like the "deep sea." Although we are already striving towards the distant horizon, we need to maintain confidence and introspection, continuous policy support, a market with a tolerant attitude, and the perseverance and patience of a vast number of technology workers, who always need to keep the determination and patience of "sitting on the bench for ten years in the cold," constantly breaking through innovation and advancing courageously.
